After weeks of “challenging” “weather conditions, friend and relatives of missing Gainesville native Charles Hosch have resumed the search for the Texas lawyer and adjunct law professor.
It’s now been three months since Hosch disappeared while hiking in the mountains of Union County. Hosch stopped there Nov. 11 while returning to Texas after visiting friends and relatives in Gaineville.
According to a posting Friday on the website site devoted to efforts to find him and “Bring Charlie Home,” the search resumed Feb. 7 “with family, BUSAR, and dedicated volunteers on the ground last weekend. Operations will continue as weather permits.

“We remain grateful for everyone searching alongside us. The search continues.”
